* [[https://youtu.be/jObRa4skuMY "Siriks, Loyal to Eramis"]] which plays during the boss fight of the Zero Hour mission where players can get [[spoiler: Outbreak Perfected]], has elements of Journey in it, amongst other parts of the soundtrack.
* [[https://youtu.be/UCSgoy0waR4 "Eye of the Storm"]] which plays on the way up to fighting Hashladûn. There's a sense of urgency when this plays that makes fighting just that little bit more badass.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECE7ZeDsuPk "Hunted"]], the theme for when your Raid team is in the Pleasure Gardens to face off againt Calus' Royal Beasts, is foreboding and tense with soft drums that erupt into a choir and triumphant drum beats if you set one of them off. You'd better enjoy it since you'll hearing it [[ThatOneBoss for quite a long time.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqRDdtbK4q8 "Heretical Omen"]], the battle theme for Zulmak, the final boss of the Pit of Heresy dungeon, is a violent clash between ''Destiny 2'''s symphony and the Hive's rave motif, giving you little respite as you rush to kill the hordes of Hive protecting the Instrument of Torment. Once you manage to break Zulmak's shield, you are given 25 seconds to damage him, with the main motif from "Be Brave" triumphantly cheering you on for that brief opening.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_KrG18CyM0 The battle theme for]] [[spoiler:Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent]] in the new Garden of Salvation raid from ''Shadowkeep'' is amazing. It's an otherworldly track combining electronic beats and bass with an eerily robotic-sounding choir, with hardcore guitar riffs kicking in once the boss's health is drained enough. Fitting for a battle against a [[spoiler:titanic Vex monstrosity in the heart of the Black Garden.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvzYMSuVMG4 "Watchtower"]] is the secondary theme of the Dreaming City, starting with a somber basso choir and unraveling into a majestic symphony, marking a shift from the Tangled Shore's space western to the Dreaming City's space fantasy. The latter, frantic half of the song is used as a boss theme for major Dreaming City encounters, notably [[spoiler:the Voice of Riven]] and the third phase of the Vault Access in the Last Wish raid, which sneaks [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR5-iM20wfU a variant]] of the melody alongside electronic beats.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jQ_NbelyZE "Inner Light"]], the game's main theme. A reworking of ''Rise of Iron''[='=]s main theme, it features a majestic and grand melody, while also incorporating the original game's main theme as a snippet. The last third of the song is an action-oriented variant of the theme, and gets to shine when you finally get to reclaim the powers of your character's class in the prologue [[labelnote:*]]The Titan's Striker, the Warlock's Voidwalker and the Hunter's Gunslinger[[/labelnote]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=358iGrX8gIo "Shell of What Was"]] plays during the Warden of Nothing Strike, where you must go back to the Prison of Elders to fight the new Warden. Who is it, you ask? Why, it's Variks' [[AIIsACrapshoot own High Servitor]] from all these years! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szPTcumBOnM "A remixed version"]] plays during the last encounter of the Last Wish raid where organs are added to make the song more ominous to reflect the dire situation that the Guardians are in. Spoiler warning as the video includes context for where it plays: [[spoiler:the race to purify Riven's heart before it consumes the raid fireteam]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5v0TIJLbKs "Keep of Voices"]] serves as the overall theme to the story of the Dreaming City and [[spoiler:Riven the last Ahamkara]]. Its overall tone is one of awe at the city but at the same time sorrow of what was lost on the journey there. [[spoiler:Both Cayde's death and Riven's taking were catalysts that led to the Guardians appearing in the Dreaming City.]] It's used not only during the exploration of the Dreaming City, [[spoiler:but also during the battle with Riven]]. The faster portion of the song is used during the final boss fight of the raid, where it plays when the Guardians begin dealing massive damage to [[spoiler:Riven]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=358iGrX8gIo "Shell of What Was"]] plays during the Warden of Nothing Strike, where you must go back to the Prison of Elders to fight the new Warden. Who is it, you ask? Why, it's Variks' [[AIIsACrapshoot own High Servitor]] from all these years!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=497jQraHhwg "The Fantatic"]] is used in Forsaken as the Scorn's theme music and for the boss himself, an oppressive and harrowing theme with help from the brass to convey the danger of these undead Fallen.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=358iGrX8gIo&index=17&list=PLZUnIN1M4R__L8EqEAgt25UdjNDQyteHa Shell of what was]] is also a new favorite with the fact it plays during the Warden of Nothing Strike, where you must go back to the Prison of Elders to fight the new Warden, who is it you ask?

** "Reincarnation" plays during the finale, where you fight off three waves of undead Taken, led by some familiar faces from ''Destiny 1'', in an effort to reach the end and claim the Whisper of the Worm for yourself. Although it's blatantly obvious that this part represents the Aspects and not you, repeated runs of the quest after getting the catalyst will beg to differ as the Whisper grows stronger from assimilating the Taken's strength in the area.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYfe9caNqfA "Journey"]], the sorrowful string quartet that permeates your escape from the City following its fall, hammering home your failure and its consequences. It's so emotional that it even [[PlayingTheHeartStrings drowns the sounds of your struggle as you are being pursued by the Cabal]]. It it [[BookEnds reprised again]] during [[spoiler:your return to the City, though this is meant to convey that your journey has come full circle]]. The choir version of "Journey" (sadly not included in the OST but can be heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbqe1ISItTs in the Beta]] and randomly when opening the Director) is pretty much ''Destiny''[='=]s version of "[[VideoGame/{{Halo}} Ghosts of Reach]]," and somehow manages to be [[TearJerker even more somber]] than both of its sources. A lot of this is due to the influence of the performing artists: the Music/KronosQuartet, a contemporary classical group known for their cinematic sounds.

** "They Grow Louder" plays during most of the jumping puzzle. It's a series of cords that punctuates how vast yet surprisingly empty the Grove really is, even though most of the active machinery is still in operation.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJCPV9JJsak Hive Theme]] makes its return for whenever you get into heavy Hive presence such as the Public Events or Strike, what makes this interesting is that its a heavily remixed Temple of Crota music to be even more chaotic techno music that befits the Hive.

* The unreleased [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrRBanbcXTY background music on Titan]] is fairly impressive. Alternating between orchestral bits, ambient hive noises, techno sounds, human screams, and guitar riffs. All while in a perpetual storm over a methane ocean.

* Not released in the official soundtrack, but the theme for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wNjTvvpssU "The Taken"]] qualifies. While it doesn't sound quite as threatening as "Visage of Oryx", it similarly conveys the alien enigma these creatures pose.
